The united colours of the SP-BSP alliance in Uttar Pradesh will be ready for rollout as soon as Holi gets over, say party leaders who are busy finalising strategy to send out a message of togetherness ahead of the elections beginning next month.

The parties, which have cobbled together an alliance to counter the BJP in the politically crucial state, are aware that they have been viewed as poles apart and that they have to work at better management and posturing to emerge victorious in the Lok Sabha elections.

Flags with the colours of the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party are ready and regular meetings are being held to fine-tune logistics of rallies, joint appearances and booth management.

“On Wednesday, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav held a meeting with BSP president Mayawati in connection with the joint meetings and rallies that are being planned for the coming Lok Sabha polls,” Samajwadi Party spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary told PTI.

Meetings are being held constantly as elections are less than a month away and the campaign will be launched in full after the festival of Holi next week, he said.

“We know how we have to conduct ourselves under a coalition… the BSP vote will be transferred to the SP on the seats given to them,” a BSP leader told PTI.
